ヤンデレ的思考傾向と大学生活の充実の関連

抄録

"Yandere" is an archetype among Japanese young adults that expresses characteristics such as an intense fear of being abandoned by one's partner and a tendency to constrain one's partner.This paper clarifies the components of this yandere tendency and the influence of the "Satisfaction of University Life" Scale on the yandere tendency. We administered questionnaires on the "Satisfaction of University Life" Scale and the "Yandere Tendency Scale" to about 60 university students and conducted a residue analysis and a Structural Equation Modeling. Residual analysis revealed nine associations between the scales, including "high anxiety about college life and frequency of alert behavior toward one's partner" and "high academic satisfaction and degree of service to one's partner." Structural Equation Modeling revealed that four factors, "emotional support," "desire to possess," "fear of abandonment," and "tendency toward self-sacrifice," explained the Yandere tendency scale. Furthermore, this analysis revealed a causal relationship between "commitment to university activities," a subscale of the college life fulfillment scale, and yandere tendency.
